``Converse.js`` implements an XMPP_ based instant messaging client in the browser.

It is used by collective.xmpp.chat_, which is a Plone_ instant messaging add-on.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ultimate goal is to enable anyone to add Jabber chat functionality to their websites,
|
|
|
|
|
regardless of the server backend.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently this is not yet the case, as the code makes ajax calls to the (Plone) backend
|
|
|
|
|
to fetch user info. This should be replaced with VCards (we're currently
|
|
|
|
|
working on it).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This library is therefore not (yet) usable independently.

|
|
|
|
|
